Staples Case Study

OPTIMIZING A DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Staples, Inc. an $11 billion retailer of office supplies, business services,
furniture and technology serves consumers, home-based business and
Fortune 500 companies in North America and throughout Europe. The retailer
needed to determine the optimal distribution network to support forecasts
in Staples Retail and Delivery business units.

THE RESULT: QUICKLY DOING MORE WITH LESS
Using Radical Tools, Staples determined key cost drivers and delivered
initial results months earlier than expected. This allowed Staples to
concentrate on the full-scale optimization model that was being built
in parallel. Radical Tools significantly reduced resource requirements,
provided faster project turn-around and increased the overall accuracy
of the results.
